Can't get a career to start ...

von Kinderei · 10-04-11, 04:49 PM

As the title suggest's I can't get a career to begin

All the other things work well like the missions and the tests

I have tried to re-install this several times all with the same results ... I have noticed that on re-intalls that I don't have to put the CD verify code in ... any ideas on why this is happenin' ?

Thanks for any help

Can you specify exactly what happens when you start a career?

Reason I ask is that if the issue is that the red loading bar gets close to the end and then seems to hang, this is perfectly normal on some computers (my old one for example) and could go as long as 5 minutes when I had GWX installed on it.

The first few times it happened to me I thought it crashed too and ended up cancelling out and trying again. Eventually I just left it alone to see what happened and sure enough it loaded up.

In my experience load times (especially with GWX and other mods installed) are longer when starting a career. For missions and tutorials it only loads the stuff it needs for your specific objectives; for a career it loads the full campaign files which include (at least) traffic for one entire theater of operations, by default the North Sea and Atlantic unless you're using one of the mods that only loads traffic for smaller alternate areas of the SH3 world.

I'm running SH3 patched and GWX 3.0 Gold

The load does as you say it does ... the screen will go black like it's loading and then nothin'

Once the load bar finishes, and the screen goes black, it will still take a minute or two for the sim to finish loading.

Trust me it's not loadin' at all

And as I stated when I first loaded the sim I had to put in the verification code that came with the game ... I have since re-installed the stupid thing because I had problems with SH3 Commander not loadin' a career and I was gettin' a error message ( something to do with a sh.exe and a kernell.dll error )

Whenever I re-installed the game I have not had to re-enter the verification code that came with the game ... not sure why

Anyways this has been a pain in the arse

This was the error I was gettin' when I tried to start a career via SH3 Commander

The error report is : Appname: SH3.exe Appver: 1.4.0.1 Modname: kernell.dll
